Each finalist Troop SPL will have a chance to plead for the final vote and answer questions. After being voted out Troops will still compete for each events overall win. An immunity idol will be awarded to the top finishing eligible Troop after each event. Any troop with an immunity idol cannot be voted out. There will be at least 1 hidden immunity idol. A hidden idol cannot be used in the last 2 events. A Troop can use a hidden idol any time before the votes are counted. In the event of a tie vote, a revote will take place with only the Troops tied eligible for the vote. If the vote is still a tie, the troops will then either draw stones or make fire. Every member of a troop must participate in at least one event up to 22 Scouts. No Scout will participate in more than 2 events, unless Troop size requires it.
